Looks like you can get the tools from there, for OSX. Level editor is where you build the levels of the game, model editor builds entities, which are the main source of gameplay functionality. The other tools speak for themselves. You define the logic of your game/custom story in a scripting language called Angelscript; you can find plenty of good tutorials both here in the Development Support forum and on the wiki.

Would be best to use a texteditor, in which you can add a custom tag list for autocomplete.
This is a list of tags, very useful.
I personal prefer Geany, just found a port for MacOSx - don't know if it works proper.

If it does, here is a quite good tutorial on how to set it up for .hps; including the taglist above.
Good Luck

Or notepad++

A great text editor that I use is TextWrangler, It's almost like Notepad++ but for mac
